What is the catch? And how does it stand against GIMP?

Yes, I know. It still leaves a bitter aftertaste. I agree with most people here: so far it’s good, and I have to trust Canva and Serif and just hope that this trust won’t be broken.

The CEO of Serif has also flirted with an Affinity version that runs (only?) in the browser – which would be a nightmare for software purists. Ironically, he said that performance wouldn’t allow it, which surprises me, since there has long been an online Photoshop that runs very smoothly.

Figma is frequently crippled by the web browser performance limitations. A 2-4GB of RAM per tab is not enough. A multiuser thing with lots of entities synced up precisely is heavy. Like the Factorio game.
>>
>>462577
the problem with GIMP is that it's features are not complete and up to date enough for professionnals and the design is too clunky and unintuitive for newcomers. It's actually quite powerful once you get to know it and it's completely free, no tracking, no cracking needed and you can keep it forever. It would probably massively benefit from a new design and a couple of qol features like drawing shapes. But no one cares enough / has enough time to put all that work in.
I still prefer using it over anything else because I'm on linux and paint.net isn't available. GIMP is still fine for basic montage, photo editing and meme making imo

Any tips for adding logos to a map like this? I found it easy to add the blue background, but with the big text logos across multiple panels, I would have to divide them up and don't really know where the pieces will match. I'm using Paint.net, any help appreciated.

Since this board is functionally dead, we of the broader game development community of 4chan formally request that this board be converted into /gd/ - Game Development. The >>>/vg/agdg/ thread alone gets around the same number of posts per DAY as this entire board gets per YEAR. Graphic Design can remain as a regular general on this board if the few remaining posters here wish for a place to come back to.

If this change would go through, we request that code_tags be enabled for this board. Also if possible, any relaxing of webm limitations would be greatly appreciated (filesize and audio) as we're always having to fight these limits when posting footage of our games.

i think a board of your own would be a lot more possible to happen than taking over an existing one, honestly
>>
>>463163
Getting our own board requires action from admins. Taking over a board requires inaction from mods. Which do you think is more likely?
>>
Flops deserve no rights. Get back to the emails.

New board or not, /agdg/ suffers from a lack of moderation and high schizoposter count.
One of these issues needs to be solved by the migration for it to achieve anything.

this is japanese text that says "ドワーフ". it's hand drawn but based on a real japanese font. the real font is less angular than this one, the curves should be perfectly round and the horizontal and vertical lines should be perfectly straight.
does anyone know what japanese font this could possibly be based on?

>>
>>462938
why would/should they?
distinguishing between visual expression that is illustrative/artistic/figurative in nature and such that is graphic/design/corporate makes a lot of sense, even when there are natural overlaps. some topics just don't fit /ic well and vice versa.

I doubt many people on that board make noteworthy money from their drawings, so it can't be the lack of employed anons that makes you say so. also /ic is a hellhole of a children's playground, which kinda protects this less popular second art-related board from a few annoyances.

It looks terrible. What is it for? At least you get some practice. But maybe try to copy something you think is good design. I learn a lot from copying someone i think is great even if im not going to use it.
